I really don't know WHY I find this funny, I just do. Sorry, couldn't find the sheep edition, Scurra.

You're quite sure it's not like this? (Which one of the science teachers showed to a class of year 9s...

This made me giggle, particularly the moonwalking bird. :lol:

Which?

Whilst this is a Japanese game, the English is easy enough to follow and it's not exactly difficult to work out what to do. Just click A or B, once you are sure which one is the right answer... It won't take more than a few minutes.

Then, when you've done that, try

More Which?

Ooh-er. I looked at the first one but it did weird things to my mouse pointer - made it all jumpy and semi-transparent, very difficult to click on anything precisely, so I decided against trying the second one. It took me sveral attempts to hit the X to close it down!

I may be being incredibly thick here, but how would you know
once you are sure which one is the right answer.
? I don't understand this at all. Is it supposed to do something when you hover your mouse over the dots? Because a hand pointer appears but nothing happens... :?

If you point / click / wave your mousey pointer thing at the blobs they do things, but I had to guess two of the first set as I couldn't get them to do anything, and three of the second set.

For the first one use the mouse to drop the blobs, by draging them up and letting go.

They don't do anything at all when I put the mouse over them!

You have to use the mouse not just put it on them.

OK that's really odd, I just went back in for the third time and now they work. Bizarre. I think it must be a big glitchy. One of them did the same thing with both balls on one try but when I went back it worked on only one. It's quite cool when it works. :D

The second one, however, made my mouse stop working. :roll:

That was interesting! I also had two that didn't do anything, notably the last one (living).
Now to try the second set... :D

The living one worked. I put the pointer at it and one twitched.

Light is quite a neat one - it requires adjusting the environment rather than the balls...

I'm sorry people seem to be having so much trouble with it - both of them worked every time I did them (and I've been back several times.)

I've just tried it again and it worked first time. I like the last question of the second set!! :lol:
